Radial Head Fractures

  • Chapter
Operative Treatment of Elbow Injuries

Conclusion

The treatment of radial head fractures remains controversial and difficult. Despite appropriate treatment, the outcome may still be unsatisfactory if the patient has residual stiffness and discomfort at the elbow. Because it is critical to the outcome of all treatment methods, early range of motion should be emphasized. When operative treatment is indicated, a procedure that allows early range of motion should be chosen. If stable fixation cannot be achieved, it is often better to proceed with radial head excision. Currently, the use of a radial head prosthesis is best limited to complex fractures with associated longitudinal instability and possibly in younger patients with high functional demands. The role of arthroscopy in managing these fractures has yet to be defined. Caution is emphasized with particular regard to neurologic injury.
